- an article on the Byzantine navy, discussing (among other things) the kinds of ships they had, such as "the big one, the small one, and the other one". Or something like that.
- an article on Danish Blue cheese, obviously written by a real connoisseur.

I know this used not to be the case, so it was rather difficult (or impossible?) to make a permalink to the current revision of an article.
